Boat Building Projects Underway

[hoytedow]

I admire your skill.

[amariner]

thanks,
but those boats were built by my friends using my design and assistance.
And this is my own yacht I build myself 15 years ago (my design also)
All boats are wooden

I couldnt figure out what you use for the interior lining - it looks a bit like cork ?

[amariner]

first he tried to use cork but then covered that cork by bamboo.
I don't like both, I offered to use clear wood, but it means much work and time.
He wants to sail rather than arrange beautiful interior

Video of first runs. She's light because interior is missing, hence the peaking bow prop.

She's finally taking shape after far too many years stuck on the drawing board while I was at school. We don't have a launch date yet but we're trying to speed the project up a bit...

Well you said big or small...so here is mine Definitely on the wee side of that scale.

I spent the past 7-8 months converting my Addictor 333 (Bambino) from an Outboard to a Seadoo Rotax powered Jet Drive. 40hp to 110hp(and much more to come).

It was a lot of work, but has been a very rewarding build. It is my first dabble in the marine world, and I think it has been a success to far.

I am nearly finished with the build/functionality, but little fine tuning is still needed.

This winter I plan to finish the cosmetic side of the build, including wake tower, exterior graphics, interior upholstery, swim platform, etc.

The full build, including over 600 photos, can be seen by following the link in my signature.

We look forward to see it in its preferable element. Water!
